- Title
Damage Function Stress Relief.
- Authors
LSTIBUREK, JOSEPH W.
- Abstract
Claddings and trim get the most stress imaginable next to roofing. They get rain and sun and go through huge temperature swings. Recognize these stressors? The principal "damage functions" of water, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. People want claddings and trim to last and look good. Crazy, eh? Getting paint to stick to wood claddings and trim was hard enough in the old days. Now we want it to stick not only to wood, but to engineered wood, fiber cement, and other composites. Even worse, we have changed the energy balance and the underlying materials and layers to make everything more difficult.
